Everything. Everything is better than Beyonce. Now that I think of it, everything is also better than Alicia Keys. They're equals at being the bottom of the barrel entertainment for me.

What's at the top of the barrel?

I know, right? I called that one guy a pussy and he just pretended he didn't read me. Like a pussy. And that other guy called that one lady a gold digging whore and then she just... pretended like she didn't read it or perhaps forgot about it maybe.

I think The Beatles were just One Direction before The Jonas Brothers were One Direction before The Backstreet Boys were One Direction.

I think that weird guy from It's Always Sunny is super attractive. I google image searched "weird guy from it's always sunny" and found the exact picture I was looking for. It came from an old thread from this website.

That reminds me. I saw Will Smith's kid on Graham Norton. Child stars are so screwy in the head.

I think that it's a mechanism in the brain that triggers when one sucks at something really bad, knows it, and receives tons of praise for it anyway. I'm hoping to get that idea published in a scientific journal. I'm planning on naming it the "Tim Tebow Mechanism".

Tim Tebow has nothing in common with a child star. He never claimed to be the shit, he has no sense of entitlement. He seems to be a hard working team player and he never bitched and moaned when he was treated less than elegantly by the Jets. And I think he is mostly embarrassed by the bunch of people who worship him because of his religious stance.

Yeah, yeah. He's a nice guy. Very humble. He still gets credit where credit isn't due. That, is very much in common with almost every child star.
I like making fun of him because people like saying that he's a good quarterback. I'll stop once they stop.

So he sucks because you're jealous of him? I'm not a football fan, just you seem to be making a big deal of nothing.

If I were a quarterback who was looking to fill the New England Patriot's third string spot I might be jealous.
I simply enjoy making fun of the guy is all. I don't dislike him as a human being, and I'm certainly not jealous. He doesn't have anything that I want.
Since you're not a (American) football fan, I'll fill you in:
Tim Tebow is a QB who played as a back-up for the Denver Broncos, then two seasons back they started him as a result of a horrible QB roster. They went on a winning streak which is largely attributed to his leadership qualities, and a few key runs. What actually happened, is their defense was really good and allowed very little points to be scored, also allowing the offense to not have to score many points to win.
He then went on to not start for the N.Y. Jets, and most recently he was picked up in New England where he has zero percent chance of starting. He's most notably recognized for his highly spiritual good guy demeanor and a weird "praying on the knee" thing he did after all of his points scored which was appropriately named "Tebowing" by fans, and non-fans alike.

what child stars get credit where credit isn't due? most of them get a pass for being cute when young, and then grow up to be mediocre adults - which I'm sure is due partly (if not mostly) to the fact that they're quite aware people liked them much better when they were 8 years old than they ever will again. feeling, and being told you've peaked before you were even a teen has got to be a pretty huge mind fuck.

There's some boy band with a reality show on one of those girl channels (E!, Bravo, Oxygen, Mtv) and they're British and they were funny and not like a boy band at all.

I watched like 10 minutes of it in a waiting room and thought they were huge douchebags.

While I did post that picture thinking that one needs a permit and letter of admission into The Beatles to cross that street at that particular corner... I still don't see what's so great about them. They wrote catchy songs. Beyonce does that sometimes and all ya'll hate her.

I mean, in that lower picture, just look at those old men about to throw their panties at that member of the Beatles! He's not even THAT hot anymore.

For music, recently I'd probably say some King Crimson songs, some Mahavishnu Orchestra, and some Billy Joel. Over the past few years I've been more a fan of songs than groups or musicians.

See, I didn't care until you said that. Celebrities are human beings, too, and most of them don't do what they do for the sake of getting famous. That's a side effect. Humans don't deserve to be shit on or "hazed" for any reason.

Okay, that may be true. If they're fucking cunts. But treating someone like shit in turn doesn't fix anything. And most of the people who get hazed and shit on certainly don't deserve it. Cruelty is worth nothing.

Here's the thing.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker made fun of Barbara Streisand way better than I'll ever be able to make fun of anyone. Why? They did it just 'cause. She hasn't killed herself about it, because she realizes that it doesn't matter. If Tim Tebow happens upon Chuck Palahniuk's website's forum and sees that I'm making fun of him, he'll live. He's got bigger things to worry about. He'll probably pray for me, because he's a nice guy.
The celebrity hazing joke, was a joke. It's not my evil plot to take down the soulless lizard people celebrities by holding them to some unobtainable higher standard.
Jokes and references are like peanut butter and jelly. They can be separated, but they go so well together. I could talk about how my buddy 'so-and-so' gets a pat on the back every time he wets the bed, but that's not interesting because nobody but me knows who the hell 'so-and-so' is.
By and large, celebrities receive a lot worse than what I'm dishing out to them to give a shit about a half-assed play on words that some nobody asshole on the internet (Me) came up with.

Yeah, I've heard Piano Man. It's vaguely familiar. But as you should be able to tell by my probably defective opinion on The Beatles, I have very little experience with your classic rocks or your older pops. I've tried to correct this but all that is just instantly forgettable to me. There are exceptions but... those wouldn't be unpopular opinions... and I just generally do not appreciate older english music.

It's all good. Everyone has their own tastes in music. What's popular now just doesn't line up with mine. I've come to terms with it. I try not to employ the elitist music Nazi type attitude, but alas, nobody's perfect.

How can y'all have a conversation about the acting ability of Jamie Foxx and not mention Ray? He was flipping amazing in the movie.

Most of the child stars I think of when I think of child stars deserved the attention they got. I.e. Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Osment, even Leonardo Dicaprio. It's the ones who are stars because of their parents who get opportunities and credit they don't deserve. The little Will Smith, Drew Barrymore, Tori Spelling, and isn't there another mini rapper who is someone's kid?

Dakota Fanning in I Am Sam, among other things, and Leo in What's Eating Gilbert Grape are two performances I will never forget.

It's like Cherry poptarts. Nobody likes them because the better flavors exist.

The fact that there are cool ranch Dorito shells at Taco Bell is kind of proof that that isn't true. Heck, their whole advertising campaign for it is playing on the fact that a lot of people requested it.

That said, I really like cool ranch Doritos.

Most of my friends prefer Cool Ranch too. You are crazy thinking that it's an unpopular opinion Lib.

I don't know if I mean that. I was just excited and things were said in the heat of the moment that I think should all forgive each other for. Nacho Cheese is good but really I'm not even the biggest Doritos fan.

I mean, why would you ever eat Doritos when a bag of crunchy Cheetos is right next to it on the shelf?

Guys, guys, guys. I love cool ranch cuz it's soooo gooood. Let's not fight over loving the same things. I'm just sayin', there was a Family Guy joke about it and stuff, so I thought, maybe, MAYBE, cool ranch wasn't a preferred flavor, including the act that my friends get mad when I get it for the barbecue. I'm sorry for considering it's unpopularity. Let's have a cool ranch party. I'll bring Nacho Cheese for the plus ones.

Can you guys not discriminate towards me for living in a place with stupid opinions, so much so that I get confused and think my own are unpopular? I... *sniff*... I'm sorry for... my culture.

Seriously though, I thought most people didn't like it. Mah bad. Let's have a party. Come to Texas, people! I'd be sooooooooooo happy to host a Cult party. I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I was sober.

I love stilton on a burger (this is not an unpopular opinion!) and really the only place I've been here with processed cheese on a burger is McDonald's.

I love McDonald's though! Unashamedly. I love this burger they just did, the Arizona, that had tortilla chips in it. Unf. Now they've got the BCO and Jesus it's good! I don't have it much because it's so so bad for me but maybe once every two months usually. It's a serious treat for me.
